Nolan(12-8) pitched one of his finer games as he simply was too much for the New York (NL) batters. He didn't allow much, just 1 hit and 6 walks in 9 innings seeing his ERA drop from 4.35 to 4.11. The right-handed Nolan lost a no-hitter when Cleon Jones singled with nobody out in the 9th inning. Cincinnati managed only 4 hits on the night. Tom Seaver(11-11) absorbed the loss. Cincinnati now has a record of 57-44. With the loss New York (NL) now has a record of 54-49.
